I am a little ambivalent about selling this keyboard. On the one hand, I have too many keyboards in my collection and I need to make way for more that I’ve purchased or intend to acquire. On the other hand, I love the light tactility and clickiness of this keyboard. In some ways, it reminds me of my IBM Model F—it doesn’t feel like I’m fighting with the keyboard when typing.

As far as I know, there are two versions of the SIIG MiniTouch keyboard with mechanical switches – one with white ALPS and one with blue Montereys. The latter are highly prized by collectors—the keyboard that I’m selling is a specimen of this version. This keyboard is made in Taiwan, whereas the white ALPS version is made in China (I believe).

I will throw in an AT-to-PS/2 adapter, free of charge, with this keyboard (see the first photo below). I did not test this keyboard with my Blue Cube (PS/2-to-USB adapter), but it works without any issue via the PS/2 port of my computer.

@Ed Avis—The blue Montereys are lovely to type on, especially if you like clicky keyboards. And the compact size will appeal to some people, I suspect. The layout does need some getting used to. I remapped the “Insert” and “Delete” keys to “PgUp” and “PgDn”. That change alone made the keyboard a lot more usable for me. I don’t use my little finger to press the “Ctrl key” (come to think of it, I don’t use my little fingers to type), so I wasn’t particularly bothered by the location of the Fn key. But I can see how that might irritate some people.
